Sunday
Dear Elsie
Today was a peaceful day. We went to church, did a little shopping, went to friends for lunch and read.
The load-shedding schedule in South Africa has been a bit of a nightmare recently. We are up to schedule 6 which today for us, looked like this:
What this doesn’t show is that we had 4 hours last night as well from 10pm to 2am. To be honest, we don’t notice it because of the 27 solar panels that sit upon our roof. But what does worry me is how supermarkets cope with the fridges being on and off. Can they manage to keep meat cold when there is no electricity for 12 hours of the day? It has a snowball effect to all areas of society & is no good for the economy and sadly, it doesn’t look like its ending either. In fact there are murmurings of Stage 8, which will dish up 14 hours of no power. When we were on the ship, load shedding was an issue far far away.
I’ve just had News 24 open and here’s a story you don’t see often.
We’ve had a good day and I think I will stay indoors today and tomorrow while the strong south-easter blows itself out. Expect rain Gauteng, the wind is howling in the Cape.
Psalm 13:5
I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in Your salvation.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
